This is another iteration on calzones. This time I cut up some Isernio's Chicken Italian Sausage links into rounds for the protein. These were great, and we both thought that with a can of diced tomatoes instead of the tomato sauce, this would be great on pasta as ...

I picked up a little butterflied leg of lamb that was just two pounds - perfect for Shaun and I for dinner and some leftovers for lunch the next day. I stuck with a simple preparation - rubbing with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic, and broiling it for ...

This is another great recipe from The Border Cookbook : Authentic Home Cooking of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico. I omitted the cilantro called for in the recipe, grated my onion instead of chopping, and poured the whole lot in my blender to get a nice smooth sauce. ...

This is an easy and tasty meal that uses up leftover steamed rice. Next time I'm going to add a little fresh garlic just before adding the rice to the wok. This was very good but could use just a little more flavor to push it to excellent.

Another re-jiggering of my fra diavolo iterations. This one uses some tasty local salmon, from SeaBear. I chose the sockeye, as it has a more robust flavor to stand up in the spicy sauce. Even then it melded more with the sauce than the other versions I've ...

Every so often we get a rotisserie chicken from Costco or our local grocery store and make several meals out of it. Today, we had sandwiches on ciabatta bread (I put some avocado on mine), and I had a quesadilla made with some excellent chipotle cheddar cheese. There's ...

I got this recipe from the Betty Crocker Ultimate Bisquick Cookbook. I doubled it and made it in a 9x13 pan, as I was looking to use up 1 lb of bulk sausage, and the original only called for 8 oz of brown and serve links. I also ...
